Digging an old artifact site and coming up with a lot of old silver and platinum pieces. I figured I would post them all together and see if anybody had any ideas that could help connect the dots:

Thanks for looking. All intelligent comments most appreciated.
 

wow! Bob? You pay attention to detail that's for sure! I didn't see any of that until it was outlined by crispn! That is too cool! I think I understand why! But very interesting! That's a gift! The majority of us can't see it because we are not expecting it and just blend it in with what is "supposed" to be there!

Your face is in the wrong way. The one is part of a 4.Your five is right but the wrong five. Their just under yours. It could be a measurement or a Bible verse. I would have to see in person. Look from one side to another. Sometimes it wrapped around the objects. Look carefully. Put it down then look at it again later. Make notes on each piece. The 45 is either or part of the math. Work on that. It's movie time with the Mrs.. I will ck. Y'all later.

That is the owl he is watching over something. On the left side I the wolf. Your catching on. Watch your self. So you don't start seeing what's not there. Get to know the animals. They always use them.

I could see how that could turn into a problem or be confusing. Is there a list of animals? How do you know what is used and what isn't? Or is that from time and experience? I'm curious about anything and everything! Anyhow, maybe you can say when you have time. A movie with the Mrs. is more important!

GIB taught me a new camera technique so I threw the pieces in a redox pan to shine them up and took pictures. I was able to open two of the objects:

Just by looking at it, if you were to unfold it with your mind(?) Would it have a shape of a coin? I tried but it's hard when looking at a pic.

Also just realized I found this today. It was all black until I threw some nitric acid on it...old copper.

This thread has morphed into something beyond my level of expertise. I will step aside and let Bob take over. The photos are much improved.








Did anybody read my post about the crucifix?

Big you stay right here. These guys have found a honey hole. Ok saw the dogs that are part of the trap. There is a bigger picture here . Some where around there is a stash.those pieces are your clues. The mouse represents a stash. If its a rat a bigger one . The dog had three dog total. One off those looked like a heart. And if your not careful with it will break your heart. One looked like the chest cavity with the seven at the entrance. That's a good start.. The encyclopedia of symbolism a good book.

The omega symbol. Look at the ends. Write down any number that you see. Did you take pictures when you found them. Or know exactly where you found it . All that is important. The way it was facing. If they were on that rope that changes everything. Don't get discouraged. There is a lot of unknowns. Have patients with this. Are you near a port that was used by the Spanish.

Not to change the subject but here is my token pics from my old CanoScan scanner. I even resized these down. Pretty good huh? You dont have to worry about cameras or Macro lens or focus or shadows or lighting or background or tripods. Its simple. But I think it works on flat objects only. clic on to enlarge.
